Alternative to locate

The alternative to locate-the Linux Release Technology-Debian information. The following is a detailed description. The default setting of locate In Debian is to index only things that everyone has read permission. This is safe, but some files cannot be found.

The slocate has been improved to index all files, but only the files that the user running slocate has the permission to read are displayed during the query.

The same is true for mlocate. At the same time, it also sets the index to only change the directory, enhancing the index speed. Therefore, it is a good idea to uninstall and replace locate with mlocate.
